The Elders of the Creek, The Elders Three (as they refer to themselves), or simply The Elders, are a group of teenage boys that hang out in The Creek. They are some of the oldest residents of The Creek and claim to have been there longer than anyone. They give "great, ancient wisdom," as Craig puts it, in return for tribute. They've also been seen getting snacks at The Trading Tree and playing Bring Out Your Beast at The Splintery Butt.
Their base is a grotto they call Elder Rock; it is reached from a path on the side of The Creek lit by torches. The inside is lit by holiday lights and a lantern. The decor consists of a game table, folding chairs, a beanbag chair, rugs, a small bookcase, and a bin with live action role-play weapons inside; also seen in the grotto are books, comics, figurines, and various collectibles. They also love anime.
